Car camping not snowboarding Saturday 14 January 2017 Snow had swept across the country from Thursday and the media was full of all the usual apocalyptic snow stories. The winds that brought the snow had been particularly fierce on the high peaks, so I was already doubtful that there would be any uplift at Glencoe. […]

Glencoe – Open
Day 1 of the Scottish season 16/17. Not much in the way of snow, but what was there had survived warm wind and rain of storms Barbara and Conor over the festive period. Glencoe Mountain Resort announced on their Facebook Page, that they would give it a go. Kicking of the season on 28th December […]

Glencoe
Day 33 of Scottish season 15/16. I woke around 6:00 to the wind and rain rattling the window. So thought I’d lie in a bit. The winds were supposed to abate later in the morning so I figured there should be no rush. On checking Winterhighland, Glencoe had announced things were on hold until 9:00. […]
